Commish Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 In the Bill's halftime wedding video, Kyle Williams is shown as "Reverend Kyle Williams". I know he's a religious guy, but I see no reference anywhere to him being an ordained minister. Does anyone else know differently? https://www.buffalobills.com/video/wedding-of-the-century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It’s pretty easy to become a legal officiant for wedding purposes. You can go online answer a few questions and pay a fee and become a legal officiant in the state you need to be one for. You get your certificate in a week or two, and bam, you can marry people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) You can get ordained online for free in about 15 minutes answering 3 questions by a whole gaggle of ministries. We had a good friend ordained to lead our wedding ceremony. It is becoming more and more common. When you complete the “test” online to earn your “credentials” some of the sites allow you to select a title (yes, even Dalai Lama was a choice). Idk if he has any religious beliefs or not, but just about anybody could be a “revered” with the click of a mouse.

GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 He did the online thing. He discussed it on the NFLN pre-game show. Which he was pretty decent on by the way. He must be hoping the Bills become nationally relevant because there is a niche there for him as NFLN's Bills answer to Willie McGinest for the Pats.

Gray Beard Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I knew a couple who were going to get married outside in a park. The minister didn’t show up, so one of the wedding guests went online and became a “minister” in just a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Having gone through 3 years of seminary and a rather grueling process to be ordained and recognized as clergy in a major denomination, I'm not especially happy about these fly by night internet outfits that grant ordinations for nothing, but they are a reality. I knew a florist who got an ordination so he could offer package deals. My nephew, who is an atheist as far as I know, got an online ordination so he could officiate a double wedding for his identical twin sisters in Scotland.

I think people who see their wedding as the first day of a life long marriage will seek out someone like you. People who see a wedding as a singular celebration of their current romantic love centered around a reception likely care less about who officiates.

Most people care about who officiates and that's why it's great that anyone can do it, including people who mean something special to the couple but who may not have years of seminary school. The best ceremonies are the ones where the people participating (not just the couple) know and love each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a growing % of the population who aren't religious so they don't need or necessarily want an ordained minister. My wife and I aren't very religious, but we were raised Catholic so like many in our situation we had a priest do the honors. He taught my wife in HS and was still close to her circle of friends so it was nice to have someone with a personal connection and be able to make our mothers happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
